At €90,000 (€1,154/m²), this habitable 78 m² apartment is already about 51% above the local €764/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €15,600 for normal updates brings the effective cost to about €1,354/m². Balcony and cellar add some appeal, but the premium is difficult to justify from the description.
More on the house and the area
This is a practical, apparently habitable 78 sqm apartment in an established Brescia neighborhood, with a balcony and cellar. The exterior is clean but highly ordinary, and the gallery shows no interior, view, historic detail, or setting that would make someone dream of living here.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €9,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The apartment is described as habitable, but no interior photos are provided to verify its actual finish or condition.
- Generic urban apartment building with no visible special architecture, garden, or notable view.
- Balcony and cellar add practicality, but the listing offers little evidence of distinctive Italian-home character.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Brescia, so the immediate surroundings are an urban plain at the foot of the Brescian Prealps. The nearest named water landscape is Lake Garda to the east, but it lies outside the 15 km radius. Brescia itself is a major provincial city with extensive services, rail connections, museums and a large historic centre. The city has UNESCO status through the Brescia section of the Longobards in Italy sites, including the monumental area with San Salvatore-Santa Giulia and the Roman forum. The wider area is known for industry, vineyards on the Franciacorta side farther west, and access routes toward Lake Garda and the Alpine valleys.
